£625.00

'Top Hat'

'Self Portrait No. 11'

Original pencil signed etching, 1937

Yorkshire-born artist Edgar Holloway was an important figure in the etching revival of the 1930s. Best known for his portraits and self-portraits, he was influenced by Rembrandt’s use of light and dark and by contemporary etchers including Augustus John, Ernest Lumsden and Joseph Webb.

Holloway produced more self-portrait etchings than anyone else and this is an extremely rare and fine example of his work. 

Only a handful were printed in 1937 and the plate was destroyed in the late 1940's making this a very desirable etching.

Provenance: Private UK collection

Frame Size 18 7/8" x 15 1/8", plate Size 11 1/2" x 7 3/4"

Very good condition, vintage frame, new professional mount, framed and glazed and ready to hang
